Come join me for a fun day of hiking and playing at Jacks Falls in the beautiful Cohutta Wilderness.

Beech Bottom is the only trail in the Cohuttas that leads to Jacks Falls without fording the river multiple times. It itersects with the Jacks River trail after 4 miles of easy to moderate hiking and it's only another .6 miles hike to Jacks falls. We'll take roughly a 2 hour lunch break to relax, enjoy the falls, and swim before hiking back to the cars the same route we hiked in.

Total hiking distance is 9.2 miles at a moderate to moderately fast pace. (Min. 3 mph)

Please note: I'm allowing dogs, but limiting the number to two. First members to register with their furkid will be allowed to bring them. They must be well behaved and get along with other dogs and people. Be sure to bring water/snacks for your furkid. They will be the owners responsibility.
